The following information is taken from Economic Freedom of the World: 2014
Annual Report by James Gwartney, Robert Lawson and Joshua Hall and co-published

the degree of economic freedom in a country. The ratings are based on a zero to ten
scale, with ten being most free and zero the least. The chart and table below indicate the
overall economic freedom rating and ranking in the world. Additional information can be
